It's one of those days again. A supposed security threat appears, and the internet loses its collective brain and starts panicking like Alpha and Omega's kingdom come. This time around, it's a trojan horse thing (it's a trojan, worm, and root kit all in one, though) that targets Mac OS X and Windows. As it turns out, though, the threat this thing poses is not very large (at this point in time).

how convenient ...
just when apple is thinking to phase out java from osx,
and this move could potentially get criticized by community,
java turn out to be a security threat
where horrible crackers use it to attack poor osx (and fail of course..)
